**Important: Ensure that you connect to your wireless router using a LAN cable (RJ45 connector) while setting up.
Note:

If you have DSL or cable highspeed, you can get a that pvorides a connection to the internet for your wireless computer. If you found a router that supported dial-up, you would be all set but none exists. You can BUY a wireless router that is used to establish a local area network. With this, you can get a so-called USB Printer that can make your Printer accessible as a wireless printer. It would be silly to have a router without also sharing high speed internet. A router also helps to isolate your computer FROM on-line security threats; but USE the wireless security settings. Good luck and Happy Computing!
